Abstract:		 The aims of the geoarchaeological investigations at the Westbury Estate site were (1) to clarify the nature of the sub-surface stratigraphy across the site; and (2) to clarify the nature, depth, extent and date of any alluvium and peat deposits. In order to achieve this aim, a programme of geoarchaeological monitoring and deposit modelling of the surface elevation and thickness of the major stratigraphic units at the site was carried out, incorporating data from the new observed boreholes and new and existing geotechnical data in the area of the site. The sequence in the area of Site 2 is composed primarily of Kempton Park Gravel, overlain by Langley Silt and Made Ground. From a palaeoenvironmental perspective, the potential of this area of the site is therefore limited, although from a Palaeolithic archaeological perspective a more detailed examination of the Langley Silt here, in the form of trial pits, would be appropriate. In the area of Site 1, the Gravel topography falls to the southeast towards the Battersea Channel. Here, a sequence of Holocene alluvium is recorded overlying the Gravel, including potential peat or organic horizons with associated palaeoenvironmental potential. Although an additional geoarchaeological borehole sequence in the area of Site 1 would be beneficial, in order to examine the alluvial sequence in more detail, on the basis of the Generic Quantitative Risk Assessment provided by WSP (2018) a significant risk from asbestos contamination has been identified in this area of the site and no further boreholes are recommended.
